Description: |
|
It is believed that this hilltop temple was founded during the
Dvaravati period as much archaeological evidence has been
uncovered from that era. These include many stone Buddha
statues, stone statues of the god Vishnu wielding discuses, and
more. Atop the hill, there remain ruins of a pagoda dating from
the Ayutthaya period, found together with a replica of the Lord
Buddha’s footprint, which had been carved from stone. The temple
holds celebrations to honor the principal reclining Buddha image
twice annually on the full moon days of the 5th and 12th lunar
months.
This ancient temple can be reached from a small street about 2
kilometers off Malai Maen Road, in downtown Amphoe U Thong,
close to the area’s clock tower. It is open daily from 6.00
am-5.00 pm. |
